As the LFN marks 50 years of conferences worldwide, the 2026 Annual Conference in Hangzhou, China (20–24 May) will bring members together for a milestone edition of the network’s annual gathering.
Hosted by MHP Law Firm, recognised by the All China Lawyers Associations as a “National Outstanding Law Firm,” this year’s conference is supported by one of China’s leading firms. With over 400 lawyers and 80+ partners, and a growing international presence, MHP reflects the global outlook at the heart of the LFN network.
The programme will explore key developments shaping legal practice across APAC, from deal structuring in complex regulatory environments to arbitration, cross-border data flows, technology transfer and private equity trends.
Alongside the professional sessions, delegates will take part in a curated programme of networking and cultural events, including a Women in Law Cocktail & Welcome Dinner, a Song Dynasty banquet experience, and a West Lake boat excursion.
Set on the shores of the iconic West Lake, the Grand Hyatt Hangzhou will host all principal sessions and events for what promises to be a particularly memorable edition of the conference.
